Lounge Act is completed
Lester Rosenthal (Gabriel Byrne) has spent his whole life as an actor in New York waiting for his big break in Hollywood. With a stalled career fraying Lester’s very last nerve, and his beloved dog, Barry, having to be put down, Lester descends into an even deeper depressive slump. But a role playing the Fool in a local hometown production of King Lear may teach Lester that there are still small pleasures and modest successes to be derived from life. This is a light and frothy story of rediscovering your dreams and the meaning of what it is to fail or succeed in your art — and in your life.
